• Best Issuers/Advisers, Issuers of the Year, Corporate.
• Best in Sustainable Finance, Best Sustainability-linked Sukuk.
• Best Deals by Country, Best Sustainability-linked Sukuk.

The Asset Triple A Islamic Finance Awards are the industry’s most prestigious awards in the fastest-growing and most promising niches of global Islamic finance. The awards recognise the best Islamic banks and houses, as well as the deals that defined the industry during the review period. The Asset adopts a rigorous quantitative and qualitative approach in selecting the best Islamic institutions and transactions in various countries.

Yinson issued Malaysia’s first Sustainability-Linked Sukuk Wakalah, which raised RM1 billion in December 2021. Due to overwhelming demand with an orderbook of RM1.66 billion, the offer size was upsized from an initial target of RM700 million to RM1 billion. Yinson partnered with HSBC Amanah, which acted as the sole Principal Adviser, Lead Arranger, Lead Manager and Shariah Adviser for the Sukuk Wakalah Programme and Sustainability Structuring Agent for the Framework.

Yinson Group Head of Corporate Treasury Ong Ken Yong, speaking at the awards ceremony held at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur, commented, “We are honoured to receive these awards and encouraged by the strong support from the investor and financial community. We continue to integrate sustainability into our business operations, including project financing strategies, to create sustainable value for our stakeholders as we expand into new territories and business areas, leading the global fight against climate change”.
